The sudden disappearance of celebrated Mail columnist and TV doctor Michael Mosley has left the nation perplexed and worried. On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, after cheerfully bidding goodbye to his wife, Dr. Clare Bailey, Mosley set off on what should have been a routine lunchtime walk.
However, he never returned, sparking widespread concern and a detailed investigation to trace his steps on the beautiful but secluded Greek island of Symi. The couple had arrived at St. Nicholas Beach by water taxi, eager to enjoy a day of relaxation.
After paying 15 euros for sunbeds, they spent the morning swimming in the clear waters of the Aegean Sea, trying to stay cool under the scorching 35°C sun. Bar owner Chrisa Zauroudi recalls seeing the couple relaxing under a blue umbrella, with nothing unusual about their demeanor. At one point, Dr.
Mosley got up, looked at the drinks menu at the bar, and then headed towards the steps leading up the cliff. He was last seen carrying a purple umbrella as he began his ascent. This seemingly routine action marked the beginning of a troubling mystery.
Dr. Mosley intended to walk to their accommodation in Symi Town, a journey of about three miles that typically takes an hour. The Mail retraced his steps, starting from the same pebble beach.
The initial climb of 100 steps carved into the cliff face was challenging under the blazing sun. After reaching the headland, it is believed that Dr. Mosley continued along a winding track towards the fishing villa.
